SteamOS used to be Debian based

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:20 AM

google even did the most cursed shit ever, they inplace changed it from debian to gentoo

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:20 AM

you would do an update and you would now be gentoo based

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:20 AM

really cursed

HHikariKnight yep, i keep telling people this, but did you know the earliest versions of chrom...

halva•6/8/24, 2:20 AM

i think the more cursed knowledge is that chromeos still uses upstart

HHikariKnight you would do an update and you would now be gentoo based

i still need to open my chromebook to remove the CR50 battery

Hhalva i think the more cursed knowledge is that chromeos still uses upstart

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:21 AM

nah its still the debian to gentoo switch in a single update that is the most cursed

ameliaOP•6/8/24, 2:21 AM

Crono•6/8/24, 2:21 AM

SteamOS 3 if a full rewrite as far as I'm aware

halva•6/8/24, 2:22 AM

i mean
they were using debian as a bootloader for chrome
they're using gentoo as a bootloader for chrome

halva•6/8/24, 2:22 AM

like it'd be wild if it actually meant something for anybody but google engineers xd

Crono•6/8/24, 2:22 AM

What do you mean, that's my pick up line

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:22 AM

its still impressive though that they changed distro base without breaking shit

halva•6/8/24, 2:23 AM

i mean yeah ngl

ameliaOP•6/8/24, 2:23 AM

random thought but has anyone realized just how cute the Lutris icon is

CCrono What do you mean, that's my pick up line

Crono•6/8/24, 2:23 AM

Something emerge something

ameliaOP•6/8/24, 2:23 AM

it's like comfy firefox

Crono•6/8/24, 2:24 AM

I will never forgive Mozilla for getting rid of the paws

GrimRaptor•6/8/24, 2:24 AM

Hey all. This is pretty much fedora just modded right?

GrimRaptor•6/8/24, 2:24 AM

Sorry

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:24 AM

i was running chromiumos on a hp mini pc when i updated one day and noticed that apt ran portage one day

halva•6/8/24, 2:25 AM

apt ran portage

horrifying mental image, thanks

GGrimRaptor Hey all. This is pretty much fedora just modded right?

Crono•6/8/24, 2:25 AM

Pre-customized Atomic Fedora image for gaming

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:25 AM

then they removed portage a few updates later as they started locking things down, havent checked if they ever added it back but i doubt it

Crono•6/8/24, 2:26 AM

What's the current state of ChromeOS Steam?

halva•6/8/24, 2:26 AM

i think portage is used in development to get the image base

halva•6/8/24, 2:26 AM

but after that you're supposed to use the linux vm thing

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:26 AM

so its only in dev mode i take it?

halva•6/8/24, 2:26 AM

maybe? ive not dabbled to much into chromeos

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:27 AM

yeah thats what i was curious about if they added it back to dev mode

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:27 AM

since i know they removed it before i stopped using the mini pc

halva•6/8/24, 2:27 AM

i just know it's genuinely like cursed and a total aberration of parts of various operating systems and in house developed tools

ameliaOP•6/8/24, 2:27 AM

still one of the most stable distros tho

halva•6/8/24, 2:27 AM

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:28 AM

Crono•6/8/24, 2:28 AM

Chimera... wait

ameliaOP•6/8/24, 2:28 AM

i've used ChromeOS Flex on my non-Chrome laptop and it's really stable

Crono•6/8/24, 2:28 AM

You'd hope it would be given it is just Chrome

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:28 AM

anyways i really should go to bed

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:28 AM

CCrono You'd hope it would be given it is just Chrome

Crono•6/8/24, 2:29 AM

halva•6/8/24, 2:31 AM

halva•6/8/24, 2:31 AM
